Well done to all who took part in, and helped organised last Monday’s Carney 10K and Sligo Half Marathon Road Races. The event was a huge success with record entries this year. The organisers are deeply appreciative of all the local volunteers who helped out on the day, in any shape or fashion. You’ll find a full picture gallery of the day on the Carney 10K & Half Marathon Facebook page – we’ve also shared it on the DRP Facebook page.
